Roommates who sued a Maryland county Monday claim police officers illegally entered their apartment without a warrant, detained them at gunpoint without justification and unnecessarily shot their pet dog, which was left paralyzed and ultimately euthanized.

The dog, a boxer mix named Hennessey, did not attack the three officers who entered the apartment before two of them shot the animal with their firearms and the third fired a stun gun at it, according to the federal lawsuit.

The lawsuit seeks at least $16 million in damages over the June 2, 2021 encounter, which started with Prince George’s County police officers responding to a report of a dog bite at an apartment complex where the four plaintiffs lived. What happened next was captured on police body camera video and video from a plaintiff’s cellphone.

      You made up fiction to justify your own bootlicking tendencies, and they called you out on it. No one here thinks the person you’re responding to is an idiot.

      We are convinced you’re a fucking moron though.

            I see you’ve never lived near trashy people before. People with pittbull mixes love to tout that it’s the owner that makes them violent, and they’re not inherently dangerous.

            oddly enough, that’s the exact same line of thinking people advocating against gun control use. “It’s not the gun it’s the person wielding it.”

            Well a yorkshire terrier left off the leash isn’t going to do much, but a pitt mix? there’s a reason pittbulls and pitt mixes are responsible for 65% of dog attack deaths.

            So when I hear about a dog bite attack, that had been traced back to a pitt mix named after a godamn liquor (nobody names their dog after a bridge, people who lapped that comment up are morons), excuse me if I presume that these trashy ass people are terrible dog owners, let their dog bite someone, and now they’re trying to play it off like they’re just innocent babes lost in the wood… nah. I don’t buy it. I for one, doubt these four are faultless in all this.

            which is exactly what I said in the beginning.

                  You’re praising someone’s dog getting killed illegally lol. I’d pity your family, but I’m sure they already distanced themselves from the disappointment that is you. Try not to lick any more boots today dipshit lmao
